Here are some of the purported UFO sightings by NASA astronauts. This
material comes from Internet sources, some of it from the astronauts themselves:
Gordon Cooper: On May 15, 1963, he was shot into orbit in a Mercury capsule,
the last American to fly in space alone. During the final orbit, he told
the tracking station at Muchea, in Australia, that he could see a glowing
object ahead of him approaching his capsule.
It was picked up on ground radar. Cooper's sighting was reported by NBC,
but when Cooper landed, reporters were not allowed to question him about
the sighting.
Ed White and James McDivitt: In June 1965, astronauts White and McDivitt
were passing over Hawaii in a Gemini spacecraft when they spotted a weird
looking metallic object with long arms sticking out of it.
Jim Lovell and Frank Borman: In Decemeber 1965, Gemini astronauts Lovell
and Borman say they saw a UFO during their second orbit. Lovell reported
seeing a "bogey at 10 o'clock high." Flight control asked Lovell
if it was the booster of "an actual sighting." "We had several...actual
sightings," he said. "We also have the booster in sight."
Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldren: During Apollo 11, they are said to have
reported seeing a light in a crater, as well as alien craft on the moon's
surface.
NASA's Maurice Chatelain: In 1979, Chatelain, former chief of NASA Communications
Systems, confirmed that Armstrong had seen two UFO's. "The encounter
was common knowledge in NASA, but nobody had talked about it until now,"
Chatelain is quoted as saying.
